<![CDATA[Research Associate (fixed-term) (ED12758)]]> /jobs/rss/click.aspx?ref=ED12758 /jobs/rss/click.aspx?ref=ED12758 About the role

The Department of Social and Policy Sciences at the ÀÙË¿ÊÓÆµ is seeking to appoint a Research Associate to work on the ‘There’s no place like home? Exploring dying at Home in Urban Poverty’ project, funded by the ESRC (Principal Investigator: Dr Kate Woodthorpe). 

Based in the Centre for Death and Society, we are looking to appoint a qualitative researcher with an interest in end of life care, poverty, and/or housing. 

A parallel post is also being advertised at the University of Hull.

By 2040 home is expected to overtake hospitals to become the second most common setting for death in England and Wales. 

As the preferred place of death for most people, evidence on the impact of housing on dying at home and the provision of domiciliary end of life care services is limited. 

This is particularly the case for those living in urban poverty who are more likely to experience smaller homes, overcrowding, poor living conditions, and precarious rental tenancies. 

This study will make distinctive interdisciplinary contributions to theory, policy, and practice from historical, social, clinical, and policy perspectives. 

Working as an integral part of the project team, and alongside another researcher based in Hull, you will review literature, design data collection materials, recruit participants, and undertake and analyse qualitative interviews and associated design materials.

You will demonstrate excellent organisational and interpersonal skills and preferably have knowledge of research ethics. 

You will contribute to outputs from the project, including research reports and summaries, journal articles, and conference/seminar presentations, for a variety of different audiences, including academics, policymakers, and health and social care practitioners. 

Our ideal candidate

You will have a PhD in a social science discipline or have equivalent experience. 

Ideally you will have a research background in sociology, social policy, anthropology, health sciences, social work or another relevant field, and experience of qualitative research. 

Additional information

The post is available at 0.8 FTE for 30 months. 

The role is subject to enhanced DBS checks.

If you would like further information and an opportunity to discuss the role, please contact Principal Investigator Dr Kate Woodthorpe on k.v.woodthorpe@bath.ac.uk.

  • Modelling, simulation, and analysis of real-based energy networks over a range of scenarios considering interdisciplinary and intersectoral aspects
  • Development of forward-looking risk analysis and mitigation approaches to enhance energy network resilience to extreme events
  • Analysis of performance indicators from energy system operators and experimental validations
  • Work at the interface between the Hub and other academic and non-academic partners while exploring synergies with relevant research institutes and centres at Bath, such as the Institute of Sustainability and Climate Change
  • Stimulating and creating pathways to impact, dissemination of the research outcomes, and exploitation of the research beyond academia

Required expertise

  • A Ph.D. in electrical power engineering, energy systems and technologies, applied mathematics, or a closely related subject obtained in 2020 or later,

We are seeking a dedicated and experienced Research Associate for a 24 Month fixed-term contract to work as part of the JPIAMR funded consortium 'Fungal Genomics and Antagonistic Community Interactions' (). This project has a broad remit to investigate the epidemiology and evolution of pathogenic Candida species from both clinical and non-clinical settings on a global scale. A major focus of this post will be to develop and implement methodology to detect and monitor Candida species from wastewater samples collected routinely from sites in Bath and Somerset, UK. Genomic, metagenomic and qPCR data from these samples will be analysed alongside clinical data generated by other project partners, and existing data from the public domain.  The successful candidate will therefore be expected to carry out a combination of bioinformatics and wet laboratory work. 

As a member of Research Staff at the ÀÙË¿ÊÓÆµ, you will be encouraged to take up to a minimum of 10 days professional development pro rata per year for training courses, workshops and attendance at international conferences.

The successful candidate will hold a PhD in genomic epidemiology or microbiology or a closely allied discipline. Ideally, the candidate will have experience in bioinformatics and coding (eg R, Python), and in managing and analysing large genomic / metagenomic datasets. In addition, laboratory experience in microbiological and molecular biological methods (eg qPCR, DNA extraction) would be desirable. This post is part of an international multidisciplinary consortium, and the candidate would be required to work collaboratively as an effective project partner to ensure the success of the project as a whole.

Research at The Milner Centre for Evolution encompasses diverse aspects of evolutionary biology, and we have a strong research interest in microbial genomics. The Centre, which is part of the Department of Life Sciences, provides a supportive and vigorous research environment with excellent facilities. We work closely with the newly formed Centre of Excellence in Water-based Early Warning Systems for Health protection (CWBE.ac.uk).

<![CDATA[Research Associate in Fluid Power and Control (KK12732)]]> /jobs/rss/click.aspx?ref=KK12732 /jobs/rss/click.aspx?ref=KK12732 About the role

We are seeking a Research Associate to take a key role in the design and development of digital hydraulic fluid power technologies and control systems. This role is funded by the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, investigating Digital Hydraulic Fluid Power Technologies for Decarbonising Off-road Vehicles. 

Hydraulic fluid power has several advantages, such as high power density, compactness, low weight, fast response, and good controllability. However, the current hydraulic control method involves using valves to throttle flow, reduce pressure, and control the speed and force of the load. Although this approach is simple to operate, it is highly energy inefficient, and the average power efficiency of fluid power systems is only about 21%.

This project aims to design, develop and prototype next-generation digital hydraulic technologies and control systems to significantly improve hydraulic energy efficiency, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions to decarbonise off-road vehicles for a sustainable and greener future. In addition, there are also opportunities to conduct interdisciplinary research on highly efficient actuation mechanisms, collaborating with colleagues nationally and internationally.

About you

You will be responsible for delivering high-quality research on the topic, including:

  • Design and modelling of digital hydraulic fluid power technologies
  • Prototyping, validating and evaluating digital hydraulic converters
  • Digital fluid power system integration and experimental validations
  • Stimulating and creating pathways to impact and disseminate the research outcomes and promote the exploitation of the new technologies

Further information

As a member of Research Staff at the ÀÙË¿ÊÓÆµ, you will be encouraged to take up a minimum of 10 days professional development pro rata per year

A lower grade offer may be made (Grade 6) with comparable reduction in responsibilities and amendment in job title to Research Assistant, if a suitable applicant cannot be found to fill the Grade 7 position. Applicants will need to be within six months of their course completion date and will be promoted to Research Associate once their PhD has been awarded.

This position is offered on a full time (36.5 hours), fixed term basis for 24 months.

For informal discussions, please contact Prof Min Pan, m.pan@bath.ac.uk.
